That sounds like exactly what I was getting

Like complete freezes followed by a reboot? Or straight to complete reboot?

I had that on my first unit, RMAd it and hasn’t happened again on the new one. I assumed it was some kind of faulty hardware component. Like the RAM or GPU.

It’s probably not worth the effort. It’s one of the more complex mods, and the screen with additional resolution comes with a bunch of drawbacks, and the anti-glare coating isn’t that big a deal.

You cannot put an OLED screen in an LCD model.

They have different internals. The screen upgrades that exist for the LCD are to swap in the anti-glare coated version, or a higher resolution.

Either way, making all the software developers who insist on messing with the kernel on windows, stop, will be a good thing.

It’s not for everyone, it being a third instead of first person shooter with the complexity of a MOBA.

But goddamn I am obsessed.

And as an older, more chilled out gamer, the toxicity doesn’t get to me the way it used to when I played Dota after school every day.

No matter how well or badly a match is going, I’m managing to have fun regardless. I just don’t assign the emotional stakes to being the best player in a lobby, or to the matchmaking landing me on a winning team.

At the same time there is an absolute crap-ton of mechanics I enjoy, and I’m up to matchmaking with 9 characters selected. How is every damn aspect of every part of this game this fun?!

Worth noting, it is a publisher, not a developer. They fund and publish games from a litany of studios and probably own a lot of the IPs, and this leaves their partner studios in a precarious position, but as of yet, no studio has shuttered because of this.

…

It’s Actiblizz.

Holy shit, lot of games under that wing.

Maybe we can finally get a switch version of BallisticNG, they had to shut that down because nintendo version gates unity game releases, and they couldn’t update the engine without switching to the new license.

It’s a crypto game. They’re basically all dead by now, and firing drd wasn’t going to save this one.

While there is some truth to this, they did let some studios buy themselves back, including their relevant IPs, like gearbox.

Embracer bought a bunch of studios during the covid gaming bubble expecting investors that then didn’t show up. The idiots did intend to do something with all these IPs and studios, but then found themselves without money on hand to actually fund anything.

Now the studios and ips getting sat on are paying the price for that fuck-up.

Embracer owns DRG, among other actually good games.

They went on a studio buying spree during covid, thinking investor money can only go up. Which obviously it didn’t, and now they have more studios than they can fund.

But instead of doubling down on making good shit, the are doing this.

That makes even less sense. What do you mean by this sentence?

Embracer screwed up and let itself be absorbed into the Microsoft empire.

Embracer is still around, they didn’t sell anything to MS. They shut down a bunch of studios to stay solvent, and sold others, but MS didn’t buy any.

is like asking a snake why it attacks its prey. It’s a fucking snake. That’s what it does.

No it isn’t. Microsoft makes money. Asking why they shuttered a successful studio is like asking the snake why the fuck it bit off the end of its own tail, and what the hell it thinks it’s doing.

If they were shutting Tango down after they forced them to make a live-service clusterfuck that flopped badly, then you might have a point. But this is like if EA would have shut down Dice right after they made BF2, instead of funding BF3.

Embracer screwed up and let itself be absorbed into the Microsoft empire. They have their IP. They care about nothing else.

I feel like you’re mixing up some companies, these sentences make no sense in the context of Embracer. Are you talking about Bethesda?

That makes no sense.

Vandeley wasn’t always evil. Roxanne, Peppermint, Macaron, Korsica, all wanted the company to do good, and for a long while it did.

Vandeley only became “evil” because Kale mind-controlled Roxanne and made himself CEO.

I don’t know how that’s anti-corporate. A big part of the plot is that Vandeley grew so successful because it was a genuinely good company doing good things in the world, loved by all, before it became a dystopian world-conquering device at the hands of a villain.

Embracer at least had the excuse of fucking up their capital and shitting the bed in terms of having money on hand.

They were forced to shutter and sell things because they legitimately couldn’t fund their operation.

It was still their fault, because they stupidly bought up developers thinking big investor money was coming, which then just didn’t.

Microsoft has no such excuse. MS leadership has been asked multiple times why they did it, and they literally haven’t said a single fucking word that makes sense.

Bottles is really just a really nice UI for managing wine/proton. If you already know what you want/need to run something, it’s a breeze to set up in bottles. And even if you don’t, trying the various tricks that exist to get something running is made easy.

I can’t say the same for lutris. It can do all the same things and even more, I just don’t like the UI/UX, at all. It can do tons, but IMO it’s not the best tool for any of it.

On bottles, the more you actually understand about how wine/proton can be configured, the more sense bottles will make.
